I'm reopening this for continued trading until the answer is established; if that's a mistake @QianchengXiong please let me know!

Creator appears inactive. If this ends up being a mod resolution, I currently plan to interpret it as being primarily about the life extension as measured, and mostly not about whether "longevity research" had an impact, since I expect that to be very hard to judge.

Why does this close so soon? Shouldn't trading remain open until the answer is known?
